A descendant of the clan “Leslie,” in Leslie, Scotland, near Aderdeen, Brad’s family came to Canada via Cape Breton in the early 1800’s. The other side of Brad’s family hails from Liverpool. Maybe this accounts for his penchant for eating haggis while listening to the Beatles.

Brad is Canadian born and English bred, with family in the U.K. and Eastern Canada. Brad’s son Dorian drives computers in Victoria, and his daughter Daisy and her family (husband Adam and sons Tai, Raine & Diem) also live in Victoria, BC. where they run the very successful Rootcellar Market.
